Boaters will appreciate the 35' DOCK and 7,000-LB BOAT LIFT, while the expansive screened lanai surrounds a HEATED AND COOLED SALTWATER POOL complete with a 6' X 14' SUN SHELF—creating an incredible setting for swimming, relaxing and entertaining. Beyond the pool area, a LARGE GAZEBO/OUTDOOR BAR provides yet another dedicated gathering space. Even the front of the home was designed to be enjoyed, with a spacious FRONT PORCH perfect for unwinding outdoors. Spray foam insulation added to the home in 2022 extends to the front porch area, helping maintain a more comfortable temperature while enjoying the space. Inside, the home feels bright, welcoming and exceptionally cared for. The LARGE KITCHEN offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, a generous PANTRY and an INSTANT HOT WATER FAUCET at the sink. A convenient PASS-THROUGH WINDOW connects the kitchen directly to the lanai and pool area, making it easy to serve drinks, snacks and meals while entertaining outdoors. The kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, creating an open, comfortable layout with easy access to the outdoor living spaces. The spacious PRIMARY SUITE features a LARGE WALK-IN CLOSET WITH BUILT-INS and an expansive en-suite bathroom complete with DUAL VANITIES and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full guest bathroom provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests or a home office. The LARGE LAUNDRY ROOM adds even more functionality with a convenient UTILITY SINK. A 2022 GARAGE REMODEL/CONVERSION thoughtfully expanded the home's finished interior space while retaining a portion of the former garage behind the existing garage door. This impressive, expertly finished and versatile remaining area is ideal for a HOME GYM, WORKSHOP, or STORAGE for tools, motorcycles, jet skis and other recreational equipment. INSULATION THROUGHOUT THE GARAGE ROOF and an INSULATED GARAGE DOOR further enhance the functionality of this unique space. THE ADDITIONAL HOME IMPROVEMENTS ARE JUST AS IMPRESSIVE: Roof completed 2019/2022, A/C (HEAT PUMP) AND DUCTWORK 2022, SPRAY FOAM INSULATION 2022, POOL HEAT AND COOLING PUMP 2025, GUTTERS 2025 and HOT WATER HEATER 2026. All glass openings have either IMPACT GLASS OR SHUTTERS, and the home is equipped with a GENERATOR HOOKUP for added preparedness. Additional features include a WHOLE-HOUSE CULLIGAN SEDIMENT AND CARBON WATER FILTERING SYSTEM and a DEEP WELL DEDICATED TO IRRIGATION, providing even more functionality to this already exceptionally well-equipped property. From mornings on the water to evenings gathered around the outdoor bar and pool, 155 Francis Drive NE is more than a beautifully maintained home—it's a COMPLETE FLORIDA WATERFRONT LIFESTYLE. With its extensive improvements, boating amenities, abundant entertaining space and unmistakable pride of ownership, this is a property that deserves to be seen in person.
